I purchased Quicken Essentials 2010 end of May. This month, the downloaded transactions from my checking account do not appear in my accounts register. They are in the Download Transactionsn window only. My bank told me it is a problem with the Quicken program.

Here are instructions on how to reindex your Quicken Data File. • Open your Quicken data file. • Open the Accounts window and then simultaneously press the Command, Option and B keys on the keyboard. • The reindexing will begin. Once it has finished, then go to the File menu and select Save A Copy. Give your file a new name and save it to your desired folder.

Update Oct 2014: Per Intuit, it is no longer necessary to reindex the Quicken Data file on the Quicken Essentials Mac version. You can read a more detailed explanation of these reindexing instructions in this on Intuit’s web site. The article does also suggest exporting the data in QIF format and then re-importing the data into a new file if the reindexing fails or does not solve your problem. I’ve supported many people who use Quicken, and this is the first time that I’ve had to reindex a Quicken data file. I was not even aware that Quicken included this feature. I’m pleased about this since it’s common to have to do maintenance on large database files from time to time.

I wonder why Intuit has hidden this feature, but I’m glad I know how to do it now. I discovered this procedure while working with a client recently.

This client had a damaged Quicken data file that was fixed after we reindexed it. Paragon ntfs for mac 15 trial reset. My client was a long-time Quicken user and this data file had been in use for many years. He used it to track his checking, savings and investment accounts.

I provide all of this detail to indicate that this file had seen a lot of activity over many years. Apparently, out of the blue it started to give him problems. Specifically, the symptom was that he would add a transaction to one of his accounts, close and then re-open the data file and the balance for that account would have changed radically. Intuit’s web site indicates that there are a host of symptoms which can be signs that you need to reindex your Quicken file, including these: • Categories/classes are missing from your Categories & Transfers list.

• You are unable to assign a Category to an item in a split transaction. • You are unable to open a backup of your data file. • Your reconciliation is off in a previously reconciled statement and you have not made changes to previously reconciled transactions. • Duplication or “Unknown” items are listed in the Payee column of the QuickFill Transactions list. • You receive errors when performing a Save a Copy.
